Congress must investigate the Flint water crisis
To get to the bottom of what REALLY happened in Flint, Congress must create an independent, select committee with a mandate to subpoena all relevant records, require the appearance at public hearings of every public official or private citizen involved in this debacle, and issue a full report on its findings.
Why is this important?
Thousands of Americans have called on Michigan Gov. Snyder to release all relevant information about what happened in Flint -- but he's still hiding information. And what's more, this week the emergency manager who exposed thousands of people to poisoned water skipped out on testifying before Congress about what happened.
It's clear we need to step up the pressure. Demand an independent Congressional investigation today.
Flint’s unelected, state-appointed “emergency manager” switched Flint’s water supply to the Flint River, which corroded their pipes and contaminated people's water with lead. And for over two years, children and families were drinking that poisoned water.
Nation-wide outcry has been critical to our efforts to learn how this happened, and who should be held accountable. But with more and more reasons to doubt that Gov. Snyder is telling us the whole truth -- we need to take our efforts to the next level.
Congress must create an independent, select committee with a mandate to subpoena all relevant records, require the appearance at public hearings of every public official or private citizen involved in this debacle, and issue a full report on its findings.
We must determine who knew what and when they knew it, how we can avoid other crises like this, and who should be held accountable. The public’s faith in government at any level depends on transparency and accountability; public servants -- elected, appointed, or hired -- owe the people of Flint the full truth without further delay.
